The experienced, trained consultants of Restoring Order® make a living bringing order to the home-based businesses of local and national clients. Self-employed professionals usually run their businesses and their homes out of the same office space. This convergence of the personal and professional life in one space can cause disorder for even the most conscientious. Tips for the self-employed to create and maintain order: 1. Invest in adequate furniture Often, those running home-based businesses or tele-commuting just patch together a home office, rather than investing in the appropriate furniture. Most offices need a clear work area, space for peripheral equipment and computer hardware, a spot for reference materials, file space, and a location for frequently referenced supplies and paper. 2. Properly place hardware and peripherals Once the right furniture is purchased and put in place, place peripherals and hardware by frequency of use. If the printer is used daily, it should be within reach. If the CPU is only accessed for troubleshooting, it can be placed under, or next to, the desk. If a scanner is rarely used, it can be placed outside the work area. Sometimes peripherals can only be located as far away as cords allow. When setting up hardware, be conscious of access to drives, trays, and cords. Do not block access to drawers or leg room with tangled cords. 3. Establish centers The efficient office is zoned into activity areas: the work center (usually the desktop), the reference center, and the supply center. The work center should include clear work space, the computer, and accessible office supplies. The items in the reference center will vary from person to person, but usually includes binders, manuals, dictionary, and professional books and materials. A supply center could contain either office or paper supplies. 4. Clear the work space Multi-tasking is the name of the game for self-employed professionals. This often results in a desktop piled high with paper. In order to clear the desktop for ample work space, a paper processing area must be established to tame the paper pile-up and allow the professional to work on one thing at a time. 5. Consolidate calendars The family calendar, the PC calendar, the PDA, and the paper planner all hold various appointments and events. The savvy professional will choose one calendar system, and consolidate personal and business items. This way, no events "fall through the cracks," and all commitments can be viewed simultaneously. 6. Carry in the car only what is necessary Some professionals find that their office is morphing into their car. They haul around files and materials, but find that they rarely use what they transport. Once effective office systems are established, paper, reference material, and supplies will find "homes." These items can be removed from the car, and stored in their appropriate home. Using a simple, consolidated calendar system, the professional can now plan ahead for appointments, and bring with them only the necessary files and materials. This approach also eliminates searching for things between office and vehicle.

I’ve been amazed at how many ideas are born in just a few short hours with management peers in a brainstorming meeting. Not surprisingly, these sessions always sparked a new approach or refreshed view on something.
From small improvements to complete reshaping a strategy, this type of management method has proven extremely beneficial. To implement such an undertaking, there are various ways to organize these brainstorming objectives.
Mentor programs are designed to bring together friends or join with peer organizations for help and guidance. Mentors provide business advice and give suggestions for improvement. They also act as sounding boards, generating answers and solutions for new business ideas.
Get a room of customers or noncustomers together for a Focus group and discover what they like or dislike, what they think about your new product or service idea, how they feel your product or service can be improved. A moderator can help get a room of strangers interacting with one another in creative ways.
I also read about an article about the Japanese management principle of kaizen (pronounced, "k-eye-zin"). It means "continuous improvement" and is the Japanese philosophy of work. Without limiting the kaizen’s influence to brainstorming, creativity for new ideas is likely to hold plenty of weight, although the aim is toward improvement. Foreen as an opportunity for improvement and the focus is not to blame people for errors, but to improve the system, to find what’s wrong with a process that may be the cause of the problem.
Forming an advisory or personal board consisting of a team of colleagues and friends provides support and guidance. Acting as a sounding board, this group gives you people to bounce ideas off of or share solutions with. This kind of interaction can either be casual get togethers or formal meetings. This group can help keep you motivated and on track, as well as give guidance during a difficult time. Even a single, bright business coach makes a good sounding board for brainstorming.
Joining forces with others in organized brainstorming sessions is a very productive and worthwhile activity. A lot of business strategy has been devised from the "meeting of minds," therefore you might give it some thought..
